Escitalopram brand names?

What brand names does escitalopram have?

Escitalopram is marketed under multiple brand names in different countries. Common brand-name examples include:

- Lexapro (widely used in the US and other markets)
- Cipralex (commonly used in parts of Europe and other regions)

Exact availability can vary by country, manufacturer, and whether a market is using the “escitalopram oxalate” salt form under a brand.

Why do escitalopram brand names differ by country?

Brand-name naming is handled by national regulators and manufacturers, so the same active ingredient (escitalopram) can appear under different trade names depending on the country’s approvals and marketing rights.

Is there a generic (non-brand) option?

Yes. Escitalopram is also sold as a generic medicine (escitalopram/escitalopram oxalate), typically at lower cost than branded versions like Lexapro or Cipralex, depending on local pricing and insurance coverage.

Looking up the right one for your prescription

If you share your country (or the exact name printed on your prescription/bottle), I can help match which brand corresponds to escitalopram there and whether it’s the oxalate salt formulation.
